156/Silence Tap Make Them Suffer’s Alex Reade for the Haunting Title Track “From A Distance”

Pittsburgh metalcore disruptors 156/Silence have never done straightforward aggression. With the drop of their sixth full-length album via Pure Noise Records, the title track “From A Distance” featuring Alex Reade of Make Them Suffer stands out as a masterclass in atmospheric, cinematic heavy music.

Leaning away from pure chaos into something chilling and melodic, the track showcases a band expanding its psychological horror palette.

A Killer Dynamic Between Jack Murray and Alex Reade

Frontman Jack Murray’s abrasive delivery has always carried a distinct sense of panic, but pairing it with Alex Reade’s striking vocals changes the geometry of the track entirely. Reade brings a sweeping, ethereal contrast that pulls the song’s heavy, piano-driven foundation into sharper focus. It’s an inspired collaboration that makes the title track feel less like a standard guest feature and more like a core pillar of the record’s emotional weight.

Speaking on the underlying message of the single and its Chris Klumpp-directed music video, the band cut straight to the core of what drove the track:

“Love. Love is the most important thing in the world no matter what. Through all the bad and evil, there will always be more good. Even if it’s from a distance, the love we share is worth more than anything.”

Why “From A Distance” Slates Into Their Best Work Yet

• Cinematic Soundscapes: 156/Silence weaves piano lines, eerie synths, and suffocating tension together, proving they treat heavy music like a psychological thriller.

• The Make Them Suffer Crossover: Reade’s seamless shift between soaring cleans and grit gives the track massive replay value for modern metalcore fans.

• Tour Support: The band is taking the new material straight to the road on a massive headline U.S. run alongside Aviana, Heavensgate, and Fromjoy, followed by international dates.

If you’ve been tracking their evolution from People Watching into this new era, “From A Distance” proves 156/Silence are writing heavy music with genuine intellect and staying power.
